CHAPTER ONE."Dad please, I don't want to get married! don't let me get married." A harsh slap struck at her face made Rachael lose her balance and tumbled to the floored tiles, the blood dripped from a cut on her lips as she stared at the man she called father."Stupid girl! what do you know? I'm marrying you off because that's the only purpose of women like you, you are nothing without a husband by your side! ” Mr. William spat at his daughter, his face red with fury.Mr. William James was a renowned businessman who has worked to build up his company for most of his life, he was middle aged, the edge of his hair grey. he would have looked handsome for a man his age if not for the ugly expression that crawled across his features.Rachael stared pleadingly at her mother who had been staring and watching silently this whole time.As usual, her mother was quiet, she had never questioned her husband's decision."Why do

CHAPTER THREE Rachel stared at the five-star restaurant in front of her, nervous and doubtful at the same time, where if not for Susan who was solidly beside her, she would have turned around, set to return home.   Her friend's idea was risky, there was only a slight chance that it would not backfire on her, and that would put her in much bigger problems.Creating and fooling both families by creating a huge scandal would make both families have no other choice but to call off the wedding?  She was going to do this, even when knowing that it would as well ruin her reputation.The sterlings no matter how close they were with her father would never want their daughter's in-law reputation to be soiledNot only was Racheal planning to fake a sexual assault on herself, but she also knew that if she failed the consequences would be dire. They would have to change their minds about the marriage plans...It wouldn't be her fault

"She touched Rachel's pale face softly, a look of compassion spread across her features.Rachael stared at the older woman.
